Description

The Friends of Pruyn House welcome author Sylvie Briber on Sunday, March 4, 2018 at 2:00 pm for a talk and readings from "The Inscription in the Window". Sylvie and Bob Briber moved into their Schenectady Stockade home in 1995 and discovered an inscription, in very tiny lettering, etched into their front parlor window. A Grace T. Watkins inscribed her name there with the date of April 22, 1883. Across the street at the Schenectady County Historical Society, she started researching, and uncovered so many coincidences about Grace, her house and her Stockade neighbors that she didn't need the help of fiction! Sylvie wrote it all down and turned the stories into a book. Please join us on Sunday, March 4, 2018 at 2:00 pm and hear Sylvie's unfolding stories as she tries to solve the mystery of the inscription in the window.
